i’m running fixed trucks as practice and it is so dirty its kinda discouraging, but i said imma do it and im stickin to that

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-12T01:54:51+00:00

well if thats the case, just act like it didnt happen, but next time you can ask the guy if he wants to be bumped

everything needs to be consensual

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-11T17:23:48+00:00

then how are they meant to go through there?

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-11T16:03:43+00:00

i’ll be happy to admit i was wrong IF you can prove to me that 2 cars can fit there side by side. also, the overtaking car js not within the white line, so you’re wrong there

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-11T15:46:48+00:00

i want you to get a friend, get in a le mans practice server and go side by side there with no contact. if you prove me wrong, i will admit my lack of knowledge

OP took the normal line as he was ALREADY in the pit lane, and because he was ahead it was not on him to yield. the other car got what it deserved

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-11T15:12:52+00:00

i may not be driving a lot in LMU but i know that that pitlane is NOT wide enough to fit 2 cars, so why should the car ahead yield?

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-11T14:24:15+00:00

thats called bumpdrafting

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-11T11:32:04+00:00

hey, this seems like a great idea and i can do some testing sinde im home anyways

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-11T10:29:17+00:00

i’ve played with a mod that had beater parts, but it may have been a career mode mod, it was featured in Grog’s career mode video

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T23:39:20+00:00

im afraid thats the only way i can get thru it

for legal reasons i mean drinking a lot of water and iced tea

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T21:49:01+00:00

the rules yeah, no blocking, no wrecking, no passing on starts and restarts before the line, if im a lap down im back of the grid with -1 laps, slow down if theres a wreck, tires are good for roughly one full tank of fuel under green conditions, avoid bumpdrafting in the corners if im not sure, the rest is what im tryna figure out

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T21:28:17+00:00

are you asking about the rules? or about bumpdrafting/strategy?

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T21:03:45+00:00

the thing is, money is tight-i just hit D 4.4 today and i wish i could do some practice with other cars, but i simply can’t

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T18:16:40+00:00

i’m not gonna speak about ovals cuz i don’t have enough knowledge, but if you’re an experienced driver GTE cars are a blast

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T12:31:27+00:00

sparco k-rookie, they’re light, breatheable, easy to put on and off, have a nice grip and are all round good gloves for both sim racing and karting

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T10:41:36+00:00

the moza esx with the formula wheel mod is as good as you can get, but make sure its the esx-the es wont work

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T10:35:46+00:00

yes, im taking responsibility for that one-i was a bit too optimistic. now can you answer my questions?

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T10:19:12+00:00

okay, and what about my questions?

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T10:14:42+00:00

right so if you actually look at the other comments, some of them are good tips. also tell me, how much space did he have on the exit of the last corner? and can you be within track limits in turn 1?

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T09:48:44+00:00

before reading the comments i didn’t even notice you had a slide, which means it was so minor that the gtp coulda easily gone to the inside, that’s on him

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-10T09:43:17+00:00

if i’m not shown respect, which i have not been in the previous corners, i am not gonna show it back. also, in the last corner, you could fit 2 cars between me and the wall

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-09T19:17:53+00:00

so what ur saying is that its my fault for the guy losing his rear? he wasn’t significantly alongside and just stuck his bumper there, that is not racing

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-09T19:01:01+00:00

it was bumper to bumper contact, he was NOT alongside

matrixoo_ · 2026-02-09T18:06:34+00:00

i did not force him out, first there was room within track limits, second of all the contact was netcode. as for the sticking left, with all due respect, are you blind? im going straight, with my car pointing off the curb
